After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 472 Buying a Scarecrow

"Ms. sir, you know how to handle me very well." Xu Mengxiao sighed softly and took the initiative to untie her wet clothes.

Pressed against his increasingly strong and muscular chest, she could even feel his violently beating heart, which was getting incredibly fast with her movements.

Xu Mengxiao's heartbeat was not slow either, but compared to his, it seemed much smoother. How innocent he must be to be able to feel so enthusiastic every time.

After a good night, they were like newlyweds. Lu He was afraid that if he used a little more force, he could crush her. After all, on this day, he broke the rules they had secretly set before.

The next day, when the sun shone on my face, I got up and had breakfast.

Ruyan has already prepared all kinds of food and keeps them hot at any time, just in case they want to eat.

For work such as sweeping, washing clothes, and chopping firewood at home, there is also a wife and a maid that Xu Mengxiao brought back from Jiangnan last time, as well as a bodyguard and a gatekeeper arranged by Lu He who can be called upon at any time.

Unknowingly, they have lived in their new home for a while, and it has gained a lot of popularity and warmth.

After learning that Lu Hai wanted to drive away the birds, Xu Mengxiao thought of some ways for him. After all, his methods were a bit time-consuming, and he had to think of a few more ways to drive away more birds.

Lu Hai's discovery was indeed very useful. Xu Mengxiao had noticed it before but didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that it is indeed a big disaster.

"What, she wrote me a letter?" On this day, Lu Hai, who was selling bird eggs at the market, couldn't wait to open the letter and saw more than a dozen methods to repel birds listed in it, which shocked him. .

"God, how does she know so much?" This woman can still break through the bottom line of her own knowledge. She was just a country girl at the beginning, right?

At this time, only Lu Hai still remembered her background, and was repeatedly shocked to the point of being speechless.

Others have long been accustomed to it, or have long accepted the clever Xu Mengxiao.

But she is not omniscient or omnipotent, so these methods of chasing birds have to depend on her good space.

Xu Mengxiao remembered some of them herself, but they were not as comprehensive as those in professional books, so she excerpted all the methods she could use.

To prevent her secrets from being revealed, she even deliberately made her handwriting look ugly, but in Lu Hai's eyes, her speed at learning and writing was still ridiculously fast!

Fortunately, he knew that his eldest brother had been teaching her to write, so he didn't have any suspicion.

Looking at the dozens of methods in the letter, his eyes sparkled, and he quickly got a lot of inspiration from them.

Just at this time, a short and fat woman called him, "Young man, how do you sell these bird eggs? I think they are good, I want them all!"

"Eight for two pennies, aunt." Heng Heng, after selling these days, his market is getting better and better, and Lu Hai can't help but raise the price.

Fortunately, the people he met were easy to talk to and uninformed, otherwise they could have fought with him.

Even so, the people around who were also selling things couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that this young man was not authentic, wasn't this a blind sale!

It was Aunt Li who came over quickly to give a reminder, and Lu Hai blushed and sold it again at the original price.

When the aunt heard the price, she only wanted to buy half of it, so she wanted them all. Otherwise, four for a penny would not be a good deal for her.

"Thank you, Aunt Li." Lu Hai exhaled a breath, thinking in his heart, wasn't Xu Mengxiao sold in the same way? Why was she okay at the time?

"It's okay to increase the price, but your price has become too rigid. Without Xiao Yatou's flexible mind, I really can't do this, and I might offend people. As for this bird egg, you are the only one at the moment. You are selling it, otherwise your integrity will be gone and people will never buy your stuff again!" Aunt Li sighed with sadness on her face.

He also said very protectively: "Besides, you are not alone when you are walking outside. If people know that you are Xiao Yatou's brother-in-law, it will tarnish the good reputation she has worked so hard to build!"

Lu Hai's scalp was numb after hearing every word of instruction. As expected, he didn't have the shrewd mind to be a businessman. In fact, he didn't want to take advantage of others.

After all, it was quite hard to dig out bird eggs. They cost four for a penny, which was also the price he set from the beginning. He lowered the price when he saw that no one was buying them.

Now that there were more people buying, he thought it would be reasonable to adjust the price back, but... luckily Aunt Li reminded me!

I also thought that Aunt Li was doing it for Xu Mengxiao’s sake, and that she would be visiting his Taoyuan Township in the past few days, as well as some people who knew Xu Mengxiao and took care of his business...

Lu Hai suddenly realized that he had been receiving some conveniences and benefits under Xu Mengxiao's protection.

Otherwise, it would be completely dependent on him, and he doesn’t know what it would be like!

For a moment, after thinking about this, Lu Hai lost his previous complacency, his mood became much more open, and he became more stable.

After selling the eggs, he went to the workshop to see how the helper was doing with the preserved fruit. At the same time, he immediately arranged for manpower——

"Help me find some broken or broken bronze mirrors. The more, the better. Also, do any of you know how to build a scarecrow? The more similar they are to a scarecrow, the better."

After all, Xu Mengxiao said, there are many types of smart birds, and some have IQs as high as children of several years old. If the scarecrow is fake, it will scare them for a while, but it will not scare them for a long time.

After they figure out that they are fake people, they will continue to destroy their fruits and other things wildly.

So the more similar it is, the better!

Mayor Lu passed by the workshop and was surprised and relieved to see him finally no longer idle and directionless.

After learning what he wanted to do, he immediately stepped forward and said:

"There is an old man named Gong in the street shop on the east side of the town. He is very good at making scarecrows. You can pay him to make scarecrows for a little money."

"Really? How good is it? I asked them, but they didn't know how to pierce it. The only ones that could pierce it were ordinary ones. I thought it would definitely not be effective."

Mayor Lu said with profound meaning: "You go and see it with your own eyes, don't you know how good it is?"

"Yes!" Lu Hai was full of endless passion, trying to drive away the large number of birds and obtain more fruits.

He immediately went to the street shop on the east side of the town. As soon as he stepped into the location his father mentioned, he discovered that these several connected shops seemed to be...

A place where you can do business by tying wreaths, making paper people and selling coffins and incense candles!

"I'll go!" Lu Hai was not only afraid of blind bears, he was also afraid of ghosts. It would be okay if he didn't come into contact with these things, but wouldn't he be frightened if he came into contact with them?

There was also the craftsmanship of Old Gongtou. He also remembered it at this moment. Just because the paper man he had made before was vivid, the scarecrow he made was also like a real one.

Lu Hai began to feel weak when he thought that he didn't even know what this scarecrow was.

"No, no, don't scare the bird half to death if the bird doesn't scare you." Lu Hai turned around and was about to leave.

Then he thought that they were all good people and had never done anything bad, so they had nothing to be guilty of. "Even people can be scared, and birds are no exception!"

In the end, Lu Hai bravely turned back and said, "Mr. Gong, I want to plant some scarecrows here to drive away birds. How much does one of these scarecrows cost?"
